| Garrott vs Soundsmith I took the time to read your earlier post on the Garrott history, Chakster.Wow! That's some backstory. Interesting. | |
| Interesting Fed Ex encounter... That's awful. I hope you resolve it.These days, no one wants to assume any responsibility, or own up to mistakes.You need to have a video recording/signed copy of the transaction and 5 witnesses to cover yourself, because the other guy just shrug... | |
| Recording during the 70's "love Jethro Tull's Agualung, but that album along with say, what Boston (another great group) put out .... terrible"I find it to be a case by case experience. When I go bin diving I buy this kind of quality, except I pay $1-10 at my local record ... | |

If your setup is in a living space, then co... | |

| Favorite Recordings Featuring Odd Selections of Musical Instruments. "I was in a band with a bassist who loved Jack’s tone, and thought it was inherent in the Guild Starfire bass he played. So he bought himself one, and was disappointed when it arrived; he didn’t know Jack’s tone was more a result of the roundwound... | |
| What is tour opinion on the Aesthetix Rhea signature and the Calypso signature Aesthetix Calypso/Rhea-You have great equipment.Sit back and listen to records. The more difficult decisions are trying to figure which rules apply to avoiding getting infected!I have to avoid throngs of people not wearing masks here in SoCal. Se... | |
